World Faiths

Oxford Brookes is a wonderfully diverse community. Staff and students represent a wide variety of faiths and cultures.
All are welcome to share in the friendship and activities of the Chaplaincy service.

The Chaplaincy has a wide range of contacts with local faith communities through a network of Faith Advisors who represent the major faith traditions in Oxford.

Faiths Forum

The Faiths Forum was set up to encourage dialogue, understanding and friendship between staff and students from different faith traditions. Informal enquiries and conversations are welcomed.

Call back soon to find out more details, or contact the Ecumenical Chaplain.
